Lemmings.ts

About

Lemmings is a 1991 puzzle and strategy game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis for the Amiga, later ported to numerous other platforms. Lemmings.ts is a browser-based remake of Lemmings written entirely in TypeScript/JavaScript with a Vue-based UI. It supports all official variants of the game by reading the original Lemmings, Oh No! More Lemmings, and Holiday Lemmings binaries directly rather than reimplementing their assets, and can reproduce the original Adlib music by interpreting the game's adlib.dat file through a DOSBox-based emulator.

How it differs from the original

It requires the player to supply the original game binaries rather than shipping any Lemmings assets itself; touch-screen support and some gameplay issues are still open items.

Getting started

Download the release archive, copy the original Lemmings/Oh No!/Holiday binaries into the matching version folder, and open the game through a local web server, since browser security restrictions prevent it from running directly off the filesystem.

Known issues & limitations

• platform: Touch support is not yet implemented.
